OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

Ewa I Walla
This designer, who was featured recently in Selvedge magazine makes the most beautiful clothes in styles and vintage fabrics so close to my heart...some are almost painfully beautiful and un-appologetically feminine.They are both romantic and innocent at the same time, with an air of fantasy, history and the gypsy rolled into one....in particular those made from antique lace and voile.Once again I am glad that I had designed my own collection before finding these, otherwise they may have influenced me...and it is important that my work comes from inside of me....however inspiring the work of others.
These dresses, however are from the Ewa I Walla Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection featured in Berenice.me .uk, and still have the beauty and character of the delicate ones from earlier collections.
